HSE Management Support for multi-national oil and gas company
Challenge
The exploration and production division of a large multi-national oil and gas organisation had set high standards for the management of health, safety and the environment throughout its global activities. The organisation required the compliance of all company managed companies and joint ventures, with both national standards and the organisation’s own HSE objectives and standards, within a given timeframe. It further required that the management of environmental issues be compliant with the internationally recognised standard, ISO14001, and that compliance should be certified wherever practical.
ESR Technology established a team of up to eight safety management, risk and environmental consultants who were mobilised to provide support over a two year period. The initial task for ESR Technology was to help document appropriate HSE management arrangements for in excess of twenty departments and operational locations. HSE management systems were documented for all departments and locations and for those identified as having high risks, specific HSE cases were developed.
On completion of the provision of services by ESR Technology, all of the company’s activities were covered by HSE management systems and HSE cases, where relevant, and three departments were certified to ISO14001. The company met the standards and requirements set by the parent organisation.
